Shopping

As soon as I woke up this morning Jules wanted us to get going.

"Oh come on, get your lazy ass up. We don't have all day. Oh and yeah I have a date around 5:30 so we need to get a move on."

"Seriously Jules you were supposed to help me today, I don't know how the hell to be an assistant. I've never even worked in an office before let alone an assistant to this guy you seem to be impressed with."

To be honest, I was a little mad, What did she expect me to do there, with no experience. I really didn't even know how I got this job. I would probably have a panic attack as soon as I stepped in there due to the many people that would most likely be in there.

"I know I'm sorry, but we could just talk about it while were shopping Okay? It would be like killing two birds in one stone ."

" Yeah, I guess."

" Good, now stop complaining and get your ass dressed." I groaned but did what she said.

Once we were finished getting dressed, we walked up to Jules's car since she insisted on driving. Jules had on a red sparkly dress that stopped mid-thigh. Her hair was in a neat sleek ponytail. To match it she wore some red pumps. Unlike me, Jules always had to go all out. Even when we were going to the simplest of places. One time I told her we were going to get some burgers at Mc Donalds, and she decided to wear a whole dress that also had sparkles with some black boots, and we didn't even get out of the car it was a fucking drive-through for Christ's sake. Me on the other hand, never dressed up, like ever. I only had some baggy boy shorts, a Long black hoodie that went below my knees, my hair in a messy bun, which I'm sure has a piece of gum that I ate last night before I went to bed. To match it off I had on some old Nike slides. We arrived at the mall at 12. The first place we went to, was a restaurant close to the mall.

" What do you want girl, it's on me," Jules said as we were sitting down at our tables.

I wasn't really hungry so I stared at the menu trying to decide and didn't really want anything,

"Um I'm not that hungry, you know."

After I said this she gave me an eye roll.

"Bitch if you don't choose something from this fucking menu ."

" Ah come on Jules, I'm not that hungry "

She gave me a death glare that showed she wasn't in the mood. So I just sucked it up, and listened to her." Yes, mam." She looked satisfied after I said this. I chose a Cesar salad and a sprite for a drink. After we finished, it was about one or two, I don't really remember. We went to many stores that I didn't know the name of, which Jules decided to buy me everything that was in the store. When we were getting ready to leave the store, I saw another one close to it. I wondered in there and saw a lot of cute skirts, blouses, etc. I knew they would fit perfectly for my new job. I also decided to buy some pretty red lingerie. I guess since I hadn't worn any lingerie in so long I just wanted to feel at least a little bit better about myself. Jules was on the phone as we stood outside the store, so I just played diamond diaries on my phone till she was done. When she finished she had a guilty look on her face.

" Hey, girl. Remember the date I said I had to go to this morning well he said he wanted to come a little earlier so I have to leave now."

I didn't see what the problem was, wasn't that a good thing?

" And that's good, right? Were done shopping, you already told me everything I might need to know about being an assistant, so why are you so sad about it.?"

She still looked sad.

" No Hannah, you don't understand, I'm taking my car, and I already booked you an appointment at the nail salon, So your gonna have to do that and walk back home. By the time you're done, I'm already gonna be halfway through my date sweetie."

Oh now I get it she was leaving me stranded. Wow. Okay then.

" Jules, what the hell. How long is the nail thing gonna be."

" Um, about two hours I think." She said biting her nail.

" Jules come on, what the fuck, I don't like my nails did especially acrylics, nor have the money for it. And I have to walk, it's like you'rere setting me up for a death trap."

" I know, I know I'm sorry. But ill give you the money, and plus you might need the exercise.'' She said trying to crack a joke but I didn't find it funny, thinking she was making fun of my weight.

" You know what fine go on your stupid date. but you better give me all the details." I said glaring at her as she squealed in excitement.

" I promise. I gotta run, see you at home...Or not if I get lucky." I just laughed at her while she drove off.

When I finally got done with that stupid nail appointment I had got acrylics, that was light blue with tiny little butterflies in the middle. They were actually pretty cute, but I didn't like the feeling of it. I decide to get a burger because I was craving one for so long, and Jules wouldn't dare let me get one around her. " Alexa, show me the nearest burger shops." Just when I was about to click one for my destination, I bumped straight into a brick wall, and all my bags and phone fell down.

"Ahh, shit that hurts."

I mumbled to myself. Well, at least I thought it was myself because while I was rubbing my head I heard a low chuckle and jumped instantly.

" Woah, calm down, are you alright you bumped your head pretty hard against my chest."

What? that was his chest. I was for sure it was a brick it hurt so damn much.

" Um y.. yeah I'm fine, I think."

I said while still rubbing my forehead looking down. After I felt the pain start to slowly fade I looked up and was met with the finest man I had ever seen.

" Wow god really took his time on this one. " I thought to myself. The man looked to be about 6'9 or 7, way taller than my 5'6. . He had a very beautiful jawline and I could smell his aftershave. Brick was obviously fit if I thought his beautiful washboard abs that I could see through his tight shirt, was a brick. Brick had on all black. A long sleeve black shirt, tight black jeans, and dark black shoes. He also had sunglasses. He had gold curly hair, and some were falling on his face. What most captured my attention were his eyes. As weird as this may sound, his eyes were kinda close to the color of peanut butter. I probably looked like marshmallows that he could easily squish compared to him. When I finally got done checking him out I realized he was asking me another question,

"Huh," I said obviously not hearing what he said.

" I said do you need help."

He asked pointing to the mess I made when I dropped my phone and bags.

" Oh yes, thank you," I said in a whisper not sure if he heard me, as I bent down and started picking up my belongings.

When I thought it was the last thing, I picked up my phone and was about to say thank you again until I saw what he had in his hand. It was the pair of red lingerie, I had picked for myself. I was so embarrassed I didn't say anything and just ran off as fast as I could, like an idiot.

Once I finally got inside the house, I kept thinking," Why didn't you just ask for it back you idiot, He probably didn't even give a shit, you were just acting like a weirdo as usual." Ugg me and my social anxiety. I pushed the thoughts away and changed into my pgs. ( which were a shirt, and a messy bun.) After I did my nightly routine and went to the bathroom, I went to my bed and tried to go to sleep."I'm sure he'll just throw them away or most likely leave them there." I said to myself and that was the last thought I had before I dozed off.
